So very much agreed. The http-accept-language should default to the
system language (LANG or LC_MESSAGES). That's probably by far the most
common usage and matching most user expectations. This auto-detection
needs to work.
Altering this preference (so that the http-accept-language doesn't match
the system language) on the other hand is probably much more uncommon
and would probably fit in an advanced section.

Another issue from the l10n perspective is the untranslated messages
from Mozilla that is displayed in dialogs. It's happening in Galeon at
least, and I assume this is no different in Epiphany, as this is to my
understanding a gtkmozembed issue. This is also an important issue, but
probably not as important as it "only" affects users of languages where
the Mozilla translations is lacking (which on the other hand is quite a
few), and since the fix is largely needed in Mozilla code, so that
embedders can provide their own translations or formulations of
messages.
